LA's 405 highway needs a
wildlife crossing to keep mountain lions and other
animals
safe. | | |
Another Mountain Lion Dead
Trying to Navigate Human Traffic. Demand a Wildlife
Crossing Over This Major, Deadly
Highway! | | |
The 405 is a massive
freeway in Los Angeles, and one that is often a
site of death and violence for wild animals. It
divides the metropolitan area, leaving animals who need
to travel from one section to another totally helpless
and at the mercy of dangerously fast
vehicles.
Multiple mountain lions have
been killed trying to cross the 405. Just recently, on
July 4th, one more mountain lion was struck and killed
as it tried to navigate traffic in order to reach
safety.
Cities are highly
disorienting to wild animals, who used to know these
plains, hills, and valleys as their home — only to find
it reconfigured beyond recognition into human roads and
buildings. Their natural routes wind up fractured, with
animals unable to make sense of the chaos or find their
way between the regions they need to visit.
In
2022, animal lovers were ecstatic to learn that LA had
invested in constructing one of the world's
largest wildlife crossings over
another major highway, the 101, to help
wildlife safely move around their habitat. It will be
covered in foliage and vegetation to help attract
wildlife and encourage them to use this route.
This is a huge success that will
undoubtedly protect animals for years to
come.
The 101 wildlife crossing is due to be
completed in two years. When it is finished, LA use the momentum to begin
construction on the next round — a wildlife crossing
over the 405! Sign the petition!

P.S.
LA must invest in and construct a wildlife crossing to
resume traveling between various habitats they need to
reach — habitats that are currently cut off by the 405
highway. Sign the
petition. |
